Just read an article on Sports Nation about the decline in baseball television ratings. It gave the ESPN rating for the Confederations Cup final.

“ESPN’s ratings remain unremarkable, though Sunday Night Baseball perked up a bit for Yankees-Orioles on the most recent Sunday night telecast. It scored a 1.6 overnight rating, barely beating its lead-in, the Brazil-Spain final at the Confederations Cup, which garnered a 1.5. We can talk all day and night about how it’s the final of an international soccer tournament vs. baseball in June, but we were not having this conversation 10 years ago.”

1.5 rating for the Confederations Cup final. Not sure how many viewers that is Gaffer.
